RF&P Coach Used on Roanoke-Petersburg Local

[NW Mailing List]

Rebuilt heavyweight coaches RF&P number series in the low 500's.  Nearly 
identical coaches were built by AC&F in 1919 and Bethlehem Shipbuilding 
Corporation in 1923.  These coaches had single window arrangement and were 
air conditioned and somewhat modernized in 1941.  The RF&P passenger service 
book (TLC 2000) has photos of these cars, but is sketchy on details and 
history.  Official Register of Passenger Train Equipment gives their outside 
length as 70+ feet.
